Bruce Springsteen's 'Working On A Dream' Set For January 27 Release On

Bruce Springsteen's new album 'Working on a Dream' has been set for
January 27 release on Columbia Records. 'Working on a Dream' was

compositions plus two bonus tracks. It is the fourth collaboration
between Springsteen and Brendan O'Brien, who produced and mixed the
album.

'Working on a Dream' Song Titles:

1. Outlaw Pete
2. My Lucky Day
3. Working On a Dream
4. Queen of the Supermarket

Bruce Springsteen said, "Towards the end of recording 'Magic,' excited
by the return to pop production sounds, I continued writing. When my
friend producer Brendan O'Brien heard the new songs, he said, 'Let's
keep going.' Over the course of the next year, that's just what we
did, recording with the E Street Band during the breaks on last year's
tour. I hope 'Working on a Dream' has caught the energy of the band
fresh off the road from some of the most exciting shows we've ever
done. All the songs were written quickly, we usually used one of our
first few takes, and we all had a blast making this one from beginning
to end."

'Working on a Dream' is Bruce Springsteen's twenty-fourth album and
was recorded and mixed at Southern Tracks in Atlanta, GA with
additional recording in New York City, Los Angeles, and New Jersey.

From RMAS:

Tom Johnson over at Backstreets has reported that Bruce's 2006 contract
with Sony calls for 3-4 new releases and 10 "archival" releases over
the 10 year contract. BTR30 was the first on the new contract. So,
all of these things coming down the pipe can be part of the "archival"
releases - Darkness 30+, D+D DVD, Tracks 2, etc. There is a lot
queuing up, but also a lot that needs to be released before 2016.

This news has certainly made my day!!

Saw him 4 times this year, and I am still needing to see more of him. Glad to hear there's more than likely going to be another fix soon.

Amazon reckon it's a double CD.

person who sent it to him).

totally FWIW, totally no guarantee as to reliability

New album is "patchy"
"An anonymous person has sent us a song-by-song description of the
Working on a Dream album. How he got to listen to the album or if he's even
trustworthy, I will leave for each of you individually to judge. But it
sounds plausible, and I have personally no reason to think it's not true.
There are probably lots of tentative copies out there with Sony executives,
marketing people, and others. Time will tell how much truth there is to
this, but here goes:

Track list:
1. Outlaw Pete?-The E street band do Pete Seeger. A rollocking tune
about badass Pete lots of harmonica, lots of organ.
2. My Lucky Day?- as heard on Amazon a mid tempo rocker like
Lonesome Day, again strong organ presence.
3. Working On a Dream?- Title track we have all heard.
4. Queen of the Supermarket?-Probably the most enticing title on the
album is a ode to a Supermarket worker? Or Dweller? Glockenspiel opening.
Certainly no 'For You' or 'Sandy', but still heavy on the feelings.
5. What Love Can Do?- Very Byrds like, Max on fire on this track
lots of twelve string guitars it reminded me of 'twelve mile high' in parts
6. This Life?- Big band sound, lots of organ. Imagine a fast Secret
Garden with the big man pulling out a sax solo at the end. A grower I am
sure.
7. Good Eye?- Brilliant blues harmonica microphone number. Very
similar to the stage versions of 'Reason to Believe' & 'NJ Devil', the most
innovative track on the album. This is Bruce pushing the boundaries not
cruising. More like this please Bruce.
8. Tomorrow Never Knows?- Light country tinged skip along with
Soozie contributing Violin. Starts with a steel guitar intro, you can
imagine this done solo ala 'Waiting on a Sunny Day' - acoustic.
9. Life Itself?- Slow burning rock. With backtracked guitar, very
reminiscent of 'The Fuse'.
10. Kingdom of Days?-Big wall of sound, very reminiscent of recent
Brendan O'Brien produced tracks. This records 'Girls in their Summer
Clothes'.
11. Surprise, Surprise?- 60s pop, very pop and up track, kind of
throwaway.
12. The Last Carnival- Standout track. Is this a ode to Danny? It
starts with an accordion intro, lots of end of days reminiscing and very
dreamy end of summer felling. Suddenly stops then a choir comes in before
fading to end.

Overall very patchy, you get the feeling Bruce and the band are
cruising. Easy to see why some of theses tracks where left off 'Magic', yet
where Bruce does innovate and push we get standouts such as Outlaw Pete,
Good Eye & Last Carnival. Might not be Tunnel of Love or Darkness but
certainly no Human Town either some of these songs will reawaken when done
live or when stripped of the Brendan O Brien wall of sound."
